AW14701 – 40.1 mm Case – Day\/Magnified Date - overhauled in Japan","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA Japanese automatic watch from the mid-1960s with a case diameter of 40.1 millimeters – that is the real news about this watch. Those who like vintage but can't get along with the 34 to 36 millimeters of the era will find an exception here that still fits harmoniously on today's wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eThe Auto-Dater-Seven Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Auto-Dater models represented Citizen's calendar versions of the automatic series; the Seven emblem with a crown in relief on the case back assigns the watch to the upscale Seven family. The 25-jewel version with a full day-date display is one of the better-equipped variants. The case reference is AW14701, and the watch can be dated to approximately 1965\/66.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe dial inscription \"para 40M water\" stands for Citizen's Parawater cases, which were tested at 40 meters at the time – a historical manufacturer's specification for the new condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eDesign and Character\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe light, warm-toned dial features applied, gold-colored baton indices and a fine printed minute track at the edge. The day display sits in its own framed window above the center of the dial, the date at 3 o'clock under a magnifying glass – a vertically staggered arrangement that is not constantly seen from Citizen and significantly improves legibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe dominant feature is the fluted coin-edge bezel, which gives the watch a distinguished appearance. Together with the gold-colored hands and the gold-plated case, this results in a cohesive, warm aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe dimensions make the difference: 40.1 mm diameter without crown, 48.9 mm lug-to-lug, 13.3 mm height, and 20 mm lug width. This is a full-fledged men's case by today's standards – and at 71 grams, the watch feels substantial and high-quality on the wrist without being heavy. Strap changes are uncomplicated thanks to the common 20mm lug width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe watch has been professionally serviced in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe case is in its original condition and has never been re-plated with gold.
